Chapter 120 A different world
Qin Xuanyu and Jiang Qingyue exchanged glances, clearly not expecting things to take such a turn.
Is the trail going to go cold here again?
No, definitely not.
If a person can mysteriously disappear from the territory of the Ghost Sect without even breaking the formation, there is only one explanation: the person who intervened was from the Medical Sect.
Do you know the whereabouts of the Medical Master?
Jiang Qingyue did not explain the reason in detail, but the old man immediately guessed what Jiang Qingyue wanted to ask. To be honest, he had also had such suspicions before, but he did not say it because it involved too much.
"The members of the Medical Sect scattered and lost contact with the Poison Sect ten years ago, because they would inevitably be hunted down by the Poison Sect if they showed up."
The old man then recounted the feud between the Medical Sect and the Poison Sect.
The Poison Sect believes that the Medicine Sect may be outdated, only knowing how to cure diseases and save lives. But what about those people? They prioritize profit above all else, accepting the Medicine Sect's help while secretly slandering the Ghost Sect. How could the Poison Sect stand by and watch?
So the Poison Sect stepped forward, but the Medicine Sect stopped them. The two sides disagreed and a fierce argument broke out.
Unexpectedly, the people from the Medicine Sect managed to neutralize the poison skills of one of their Poison Sect elders, causing his years of hard work to be in vain. From then on, the feud between the Medicine Sect and the Poison Sect was established.
At that time, the leader of the Ghost Sect stepped forward to mediate the conflict between the two sides. However, because he also favored the Medicine Sect, the people of the Poison Sect were not convinced by him.
Furthermore, the Grand Elder, who was inclined towards the Poison Sect, had long coveted the position of Sect Master and took the opportunity to confront the Sect Master, with the two agreeing to a great battle.
Three days and three nights later, no one knew the outcome; all they saw were two people who were in a sorry state and seriously injured.
Subsequently, the sect leader issued an order that shocked everyone: the Grand Elder would temporarily assume the position of sect leader, and he would travel the world practicing medicine to continue his own path.
When the sect leader left, the medical sect, which had always loyally followed him, also left.
The rest either secretly suffered at the hands of the Poison Sect, or chose to join the Poison Sect to save their lives. The old man in front of me, who looks similar to the senior who saved Jiang Qingyue, is one of them. At the same time, he is also the sect leader's cousin.
To gain their trust, he also began to practice poison techniques. He actually wanted to live for his brother, even if it meant using such dirty means.
As a result, the Poison Sect gradually grew stronger, eventually developing into this state where its reputation worsened and the martial arts world was filled with resentment.
However, the Poison Sect remained unconcerned; what they desired was to rule the entire martial arts world.
Unfortunately, their ambitions were too high, but their fate was too fragile.
They have long relied on poison and their own skills are relatively weak. As soon as the current leader of the alliance took office, he dealt with the Ghost Sect, forcing them to hide in such a dark place.
After hearing his words, Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, she could guess that the old man was probably the sect leader of the Ghost Sect.
His actions were probably intended to preserve the lineage of the Medical Sect, but unfortunately, he still couldn't escape the clutches of the Poison Sect.
So, that token...
Jiang Qingyue felt that since the Poison Sect's territory was here, then the stone gate over in the Misty Forest... Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyue knew it was time to take the token and go to the stone gate to take a good look.
Qin Xuanyu and Jiang Qingyue returned home alone. Jiang Luofeng, seeing no instructions and ignoring the people from the Ghost Sect, sounded the retreat, leaving the Ghost Sect members bewildered but also relieved.
Watching them leave, the old man summoned his trusted aide, "Go and report what just happened to the sect leader."
Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me, so I'll leave it to the sect leader to handle.
Jiang Qingyue headed straight for the stone gate in the Misty Forest. Jiang Luofeng, worried, sent the soldiers back first and then followed.
Jiang Qingyue looked at Jiang Luofeng, who was stubbornly insisting on following her, and finally had no choice but to acquiesce.
At the entrance of the stone wall, Jiang Qingyue took out the token that she had kept sealed away for a long time, feeling uneasy.
Her anxiety wasn't about the dangers ahead, but rather that if there was no news of her grandfather inside, she would truly have nowhere to turn.
Therefore, Jiang Qingyue was hesitant to open it. She could still cling to hope before opening it, but what if she opened it and found nothing...?
Qin Xuanyu knew Jiang Qingyue's state of mind.
He reached out and covered Jiang Qingyue's hand, feeling her slightly clenched grip, and couldn't help but tighten his hold even more.
Feeling the warmth from the back of her hand, Jiang Qingyue instantly felt at ease.
Qin Xuanyu held Jiang Qingyue's hand, and the two of them placed the token into the groove on the stone wall together.
The moment the token perfectly fit into the groove, a rumbling sound was heard, followed by the falling of pebbles and the raising of dust from the stone wall.
Qin Xuanyu protected Jiang Qingyue and retreated.
As the sound gradually subsided, the dust raised by the sand in front of us gradually settled, and our vision gradually became clear.
Behind the stone wall, there was indeed a hidden paradise, with small bridges, flowing water, houses... it was like a secluded paradise, and even the air was exceptionally fresh.
Qin Xuanyu and the other two saw shock in each other's eyes.
Jiang Qingyue took the token from the stone wall, and the three of them went through the stone door. The stone door closed instantly, and after looking at it, they decided to continue forward.
Perhaps they never imagined that outsiders could discover this place, because there was no one guarding behind the stone wall.
As soon as the two entered, they saw a large medicinal garden on the side, planted with many rare herbs, and a person dressed in ordinary clothes was tending to the garden.
When he stood up and saw the three uninvited guests, he paused for a moment, seemingly incredulous that anyone could have entered. Then, Jiang Qingyue saw him run forward at an alarming speed, exclaiming, "Something's wrong! Something's wrong!"
Jiang Qingyue and the other two looked at each other and finally decided to stay where they were and wait for him to call the person over, so as not to waste time wandering around aimlessly.
Soon, the three of them found a group of people running up to them.
Their attire was no different from that of ordinary people. If it weren't for the stone wall, Jiang Qingyue might have really thought they were ordinary people living in the mountains.
"Who are you? How did you get in? What are you doing here? Speak!" The old man leading the group was hunched over, squinting, and his eyes were somewhat cloudy, suggesting he had an eye disease.
"Second Elder, stop wasting time talking to them. They're definitely their people. Take them down, or we'll be in danger!"
Years of being hunted have instilled in them a habit of distrusting everyone.
If you've wandered in by mistake, then stay forever and don't leave.
Enemy? Then just take them down, imprison them for life, and don't let them leave.
After all, they have to consider the safety of everyone.
As the group prepared to make their move, Jiang Qingyue calmly took out the token and displayed it to everyone.
